Constantly checking your email makes your IQ drop 10 points
1. Send less email
2. Choose your own tempo for an email conversation
3. Don't context switch (book reference Getting things done, David Allen)
4. Never keep a mental list (makes your brain constantly work with the issues)
5. Set cues for task resumption (makes it easier to come back to a previous task)
6. Set team interruption protocols (when is it ok to interrupt within the team?)
7. Get a second monitor (productivity gain 20-30%), don't have to context switch between windows

Change is hard:
1. Start with a plan
2. Avoid Inaction, not Error
3. New habits take time
4. Belief is physical
5. Take small next steps
